Agreed

I've probably pic related and Ghost Hardware more than his LPs. Plus his stuff with Massive Attack is amazing.

I can get behind this. I always found AnCo's EPs more interesting than their actual albums.

so a band / artist either isn't focused enough to sit in a studio for a month, or they don't have enough new content.

the point of an EP has faded entirely. they are either cash grabs or previews, and in a digital age neither makes sense

or they have an idea that can be fleshed out in 4-5 songs. Why drag something out just so you can sell it as an LP?

No. B-sides collection.

only as one side of a record. this just accentuates my point that the EP as a platform is worthless
>>
>>65213472
So you'd rather a band release a 25 minute track with a bunch of shitty pointless 3 - 4 minute tracks as an LP than just the 25 minute track as an EP?
>>
>>65213472
Don't bother arguing with this dude he probably thinks it's better to release 5 great songs and another 6 lesser tracks and call it an album then it is to just release those 5 great tracks.

Fatso Forgotso is better than anything off of And the Circus Leaves Town.

Spiders and Vinegaroons is debatably the best QotSA song of all time.

Fucking excellent split EP.
